Beautiful beauties in the 80s courtyard

Chapter 490 No pain, no gain
Even the usually calm and collected Qin Hengzhi suddenly stopped in his tracks and turned to look up at the sky.

Sure enough, he found that the two familiar swallows were flying towards him, followed by three sparrows.

Well, this scene was quite magical.

Tao Tao and Nini landed on Lu Qiaoge's arm. Lu Qiaoge held them high and pointed to the ones on her wrist: "This one is called Tao Tao, it's a boy, and this one is called Nini, it's a girl. They are a couple."

Qin Hengzhi thought to himself: Nonsense, do I even need to say it? Even if we're not husband and wife, we wouldn't build a nest together.

Qin Hengzhi greeted Tao Tao and Nini with a smile in his eyes and very seriously.

He was inwardly amazed, which caused his emotions to fluctuate, but it was not visible on his face.

Lu Qiaoge glanced at it. "Not bad, very calm."

Tao Tao and Nini like to stay on Lu Qiaoge's arm.

However, knowing that their young master and Qin Hengzhi had other things to do, the birds chirped a few times, circled around Qin Hengzhi a few times, and then flew back to their half-built nest.

That evening, the Lu family had shepherd's purse dumplings with pork filling, seasoned by Su Hui. The filling was incredibly delicious.

Su Hui stayed home to recover after giving birth, and she grew up to be fair-skinned and plump. Now, everyone in the neighborhood who knows her says Su Hui is lucky.

Eggs are plentiful, and they often make fish soup or chicken soup for us.

Envy and jealousy?

Well, there's nothing we can do about it; what can we do when we have such a capable sister-in-law?

After finishing the meal, Lu Qiaoge said, "I have something to tell you all."

Qin Hengzhi immediately sat up straight.

Meng Xia smiled and said, "Look at how serious you are. So, what's up?"

"Qin Hengzhi and I are planning to get married around September."

"what!!!"

The room fell silent.

This is really quite sudden.

Although the Lu family members were anxious, Lu Qiaoge wasn't in a hurry. As her parents and elders, they couldn't urge her, otherwise it would seem as if their daughter couldn't get married.

But who could have imagined that this would suddenly drop a bombshell?

Meng Xia stood up abruptly, her eyes wide, and asked, "Qiao Ge, is it true?"

Lu Da, who was standing next to her, slapped the back of her hand and scolded, "What are you talking about? It's definitely true. Who would joke about something like this?"

Qin Hengzhi then spoke up: "Grandma, Uncle, Aunt, my elders have long been prepared and are just waiting for you to have time so they can come to visit us in person."

Qin Hengzhi became somewhat nervous at this point. To be honest, even facing a life-or-death battlefield wouldn't have made him this nervous.

But he continued in a deep voice, "I have a small courtyard house in Beidu, but my grandparents want me to live in the large compound so they can take care of each other. Of course, that's for the future. As for the house in the family compound, Qiao Ge can decide what kind she wants. She doesn't need to worry about it; she just needs to give instructions."

Qin Hengzhi had clearly been considering this, so his plan was very comprehensive, taking all aspects into account.

Meng Xia and Lu Da exchanged a glance. It seemed that, in this case, there was nothing left for them to do.

Both sets of parents met, and the Qin family will come to Jiangcheng.

Qin Hengzhi has his own courtyard in Beidu, but his grandparents want him to live in the main compound.

Living in the compound wasn't just a symbol of status and wealth; it was also safe. At least my daughter really did go to Beidu with Qin Hengzhi, so there was no need to worry. If the Beidu compound wasn't safe, then no family compound in the world was safe.

Qin Hengzhi is currently the resident military representative at the military factory, with three or four more years of service remaining. Unlike others who apply for housing after getting married, Qin Hengzhi already owns a house there, and it's quite large.

Meng Xia and Lu Da have both been there, and even Grandma Lu has been there. To be honest, it's one of the best houses in the family compound.

Qiao Ge has the final say on how to tidy up and add furnishings.

Meng Xia and Lu Da are not worried about this.

Although their second daughter is capable and extremely outstanding, making them very proud, she is actually someone who really enjoys life.

Simply put, I will absolutely not force myself to endure hardship.

The second daughter's original bedroom wasn't very big, but the room was tidy. The ceiling and walls were covered with newspaper, and there seemed to be four or five spare sheets and duvet covers. She didn't even know how many pillowcases Lu Qiaoge had, but she always saw different ones.

Needless to say, food and clothing were essential. Why did we bother with that market in the first place? Wasn't it to improve our meals?

Then there's transportation; you can have bicycles or jeeps.

If you gave her a plane, she could fly it away.

Moreover, Qin Hengzhi is not an ordinary boy; he is an outstanding individual among his peers, and he knows how to handle his marriage.

Then there's the wedding banquet, which is currently discouraged. It's said that it's wasteful to hold lavish parties. Instead, tea parties are encouraged, but these are all organized by the work unit, and the Lu family has no say in it, so they can't worry about it.

After going through it all, it seems like there's nothing to worry about.
Oh, yes.

As the bride's family, they should definitely provide a dowry.

Putting everything else aside, let's just talk about new bedding. We have plenty of fabric and cotton at home, but we don't know when we'll get married, so we haven't made any yet. Now that we're not too busy, we can start making some.

Hmm, not bad. It's not even May Day yet, and there are still several months until the wedding.

As for instructing Qin Hengzhi to treat Qiao Ge well, that can be addressed later. Lu Da and Meng Xia were worried about their third daughter and youngest son, but they were definitely not worried about their second daughter.

Of course, I will still give you the necessary reminders.

So Mengxia said, "Since you've made this plan, then this is your home. Come over whenever you want dumplings, don't be shy."

Qin Hengzhi smiled and nodded: "Okay, Auntie."

Lu Da coughed. Was his wife too excited by what she said?

He glanced at his mother.

Grandma Lu found it amusing and said to Qin Hengzhi and Lu Qiaoge, "As elders, we have no other requests. We just hope that you two are doing well and can always be doing well. Really, everything else is secondary."

Lu Qiaoge nodded in agreement.

Yes, this is the simplest of thoughts, and the most important idea in the hearts of parents everywhere.

However, Meng Xia also knew that Qin Hengzhi's maternal grandfather's family lived here; he had an older uncle and an older aunt. Although they had never met, the family had given the old lady gifts, and of course, they had returned the favor.

That counts as having some contact.

But Qin Hengzhi's maternal grandmother was not his biological mother.

There were some things Meng Xia didn't want to ask, but she decided to ask Lu Qiaoge after Qin Hengzhi left.

Lu Qiaoge said, "Qin Hengzhi's maternal grandfather is currently recuperating at Baihe Mountain, not in Jiangcheng. Qin Hengzhi's maternal uncle and aunt are in Jiangcheng. When his parents come, they will be invited to have dinner together."
